Читать книгу A Di Sione For The Greek's Pleasure - Кейт Хьюит - Страница 3

“I’d like to return to Kallos within the hour.”

Knowing she was sounding stupid, Talia couldn’t keep herself from repeating him yet again. “Kallos...?”

“My home,” Angelos clarified. “Did you not read the advertisement I placed, Miss Di Sione?”

Talia dragged a deep breath into her lungs and tried to force her mind to clear.

She straightened and put the glass of juice on the desk with a clink. “Mr.—Kyrie Mena, I’m afraid this has all gotten a little out of hand...” She felt another blush rising as Angelos’s eyebrows snapped together in irritated confusion. If she told him the real reason for her being here now, he’d be utterly furious. Angelos Mena would be enraged to learn she actually had no intention of or interest in being his daughter’s nanny.

Except...could she really say that? Talia’s gaze slid to Sofia, who was watching her anxiously, her dark hair swinging in front of her face to hide her scarred cheek.

Talia’s heart twisted hard in sympathy, just as it had when she’d first laid eyes on this girl. Sofia wanted her to come, and it was only for six weeks. And surely in six weeks she’d find an opportunity to ask Angelos about the book, even to get him to give her the book. More important, she might be able to help Sofia. At least she could offer her friendship.

Why shouldn’t she accept this job?
